Sun Microsystems made a commitment to Free and open source software and in doing so has contributed billions of dollars, as well as more code under open source licenses than any other organization in the public or private sector.
In support of our commitment, Sun is pleased to announce a $1 Million Open Source Community Innovation Awards Program which will foster innovation and recognize the most interesting initiatives within open source communities worldwide. Beginning in mid-January 2008, Sun and the five open source communities will announce details on how developers can participate in the individual programs. Each community will have its own contest rules and judging criteria.
Check back here on January 14, 2008 for more details on the Open Source Community Innovation Awards Program and how you can help power the participation age.
